Found this yesterday on a field we'd been searching for over 10 years. It's the first hammered off the field.

Am well pleased as i think it dates from 1180 to 1216, covering the reign of Richard and John.

I welcome confirmation that its canterbury mint with the moneyer probably being Godwine... and any more info re class etc would be appreciated.

cheers

What a lovely find and it goes to show that no matter how many times you go on a field even after 10 years there is always more to find

checking the moneyers in spink .... suggests it was Goldwine who was working through both reigns in Canterbury.

Your welcome Alan Smiley

If you look at your coin you will notice you have no pellet in the hair curl, neither has John on his early 4c class, but the later classes has a pellet in the curls..... Try Google imaging Johns coins and look at the pellets in hair curls, you will see the difference.
